Conquest of the Horde

These are basically the questions I put in the Lore one by accident, only to realize my mistake after having posted it. :roll:

Most of these were answered pretty well by Hawk already (while I was frantically trying to edit the post ), but just in case someone else may be wondering the same thing, I thought I'd post it here.

1. Druids in Bear and Cat form have the telltale signs of being a Druid, Tauren have the horns, while Night Elves have the ears. Some forms, however, such as Travel Form, do not have these traits in their model, but are they still there ICly?

2. Are Gryphon/Wyvern Riders treated as IC? For instance, could one say that they reached or could reach their destination by gryphon or wyvern? Could we also then say that we took our own flying mount to get somewhere even in Azeroth where flying mounts cannot be used, including the Druid flight form?

3. Is there a way that a character can walk around with an orphan the same way we can on retail during Children's Week?

4. Would one be allowed to create a character with a prestigious class before having played it and making it seem as though the training for said class was in that character's past? For instance, let's say I had a Shaman who I knew from the beginning I wanted to make into a Spirit Walker. The Shaman in question is incredibly old and, realistically speaking, would be dead or dying before his training was complete if that training began now. Could I instead create the character (just to reserve the name, really) and have a GM suspend him until the approval process for his profile and class was complete, thereby allowing me to introduce the character onto the server as a Spirit Walker from the beginning?

More to come later...

1. I really doubt that the druid form features are IC. For example, an animistic Tauren lends the form of an animal off a spirit, thus it would take the form of the spirit's.

2. Ah, well, I'm certain that the druid flying form can ICly be used around Azeroth. From what I know, these wyvern riders and shizzle are IC, however, they are expensive. And one must have a good reason to have a flying mount IC, they're expensive, too.

3. ... What?

4. Yes, as far as I'm aware, this is possible.

4: No, we want the prestige classes to be used for character development, so we want people to apply for them with characters already been in play for some time, instead of making characters based on a specific prestige class.

This basically goes off an idea already presented with regard to Children RP. See, if this were possible, it'd be a bit easier to RP having a child, similar to how it's easier to RP having a pet if you have a model of said pet following you around.

Gotcha.

1. Yes, the features are IC. Hence blizz making the forms look even more like the races than before. Travel, and aquatic too, would probably still be distinguishable, despite fail modelling.
